The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission relicensed in October an expanded project in Vermont and accepted a license application for a project to be built on the New York canal system, according to the Energy Infrastructure Update for October 2014, compiled by FERC's Office of Energy Projects. FERC issued a relicense to Green Mountain Power Corp. for 22.807-MW Otter Creek, allowing the Vermont utility to expand the three-dam project from 14.349 MW.The project includes the 3-MW Proctor, 5.849-MW Beldens and 5.5-MW Huntington Falls developments. Green Mountain acquired Otter Creek and 12 other projects upon its merger with Central Vermont Public Service Corp. The relicense order granted Green Mountain permission to install a new runner for Unit 1 and install new Units 2 through 4 at the Proctor Development, increasing its installed capacity to 10.233 MW, and to install new Units 1 and 2 at the Huntington Falls development, increasing its installed capacity to 6.725 MW.
